I have been blogging for some time also using Wordpress, Tumbler and other platforms and just like you it was more of an online diary for my musings, short stories and poetry.
Steemit is a while new animal for me because it is really a social platform wherein I got to create some great relationships.
I hope that you enjoy your stay in Steemit and unleash your creative side.
Thank you @maverickinvictus! I heard so much good things about you from @davinsh. Hoping to start writing again in this platform. Excited to see you around!
